I love beads & jewelry and they are always a staple in my crafting supplies. I was looking around on the internet the other day and came across a bracelet that I loved. I remembered seeing this class at the local bead store, but I thought I could figure it out without a class.

I had to get the supplies and make one.

Here is my first attempt.

I wanted it to wrap three times, but I didn't have enough beads so twice is.

I soo forgot what its like to have a kitten around. She was bouncing off the walls and into everything!!

Yes she's in the window behind the blinds trying to get out…….and then on to terrorize the birds.

She's gone for now…..but will be back on Tuesday again for few days. My granddaughter was so excited to get her back today. I do miss having her around. She has such a cute personality and she's so cuddly. Almost makes me want another cat….. that doesn't sleep under the bed all day.

The color is so calm and relaxing. I love waking up in it every morning.

It makes me smile.

The color is actually more green than blue, but strangely it looks more blue than green on the wall……go figure.

I used burlap for the bed skirt.

I looked everywhere and couldn't find a burlap bed skirt. So I went to the fabric store and bought 8 yards of burlap. It was my intent to cut it in half and sew the burlap onto the existing deck of the one I already had. But after tucking it in to see how long I wanted it I just kept tucking and adjusting the gathers between the mattresses and wala……..a burlap bed skirt.
